Liptember: Kiss Away The Blues

Friday, 1 September 2017

I am really excited to announce that I am taking part in the charity campaign, Liptember. Throughout September, you can raise awareness and money for women's mental health research and support services by wearing crazy shades of lipstick to start the conversation. I think it is an amazing cause that really helps to break down the stigma attached to mental health and I am very excited to be involved.So first of all, where does the money raised go? The Liptember Foundation raises a range of beneficiary charities and organisations that are committed to addressing and alleviating women's mental health issues. These beneficiaries include The Centre for Women's Mental Health, Lifeline Australia, The Jean Hailes Foundation, R U OK?, The Pretty Foundation and Batyr. All of these charities do amazing work and really need to funds to continue their amazing work research women's mental health and helping women who are battling mental ill health. I have joined with 11 other amazing bloggers to form an InstabeautyAU Liptember team and we have set the goal to raise $5000. The other amazing girls taking part are Kirsten of @sundayluxe, Samantha of @shewritesaboutit, Sarah of @bowsandpleats, Lissa and @lissaaabee, Nicole of @nicoles_niche, Zebby of @zebbyzelf, Jaime of @_jaime.x, Tara of @t_for_taraaa, Tamrah of @kittierex, Jenni of @thisglamorousmess, and Cassandra of @cassies_beauty_life.Obviously it is a great cause and there so many great and fun ways for you to get involved...

Wear crazy shades and get the conversation going during the month of September.
